  Dear Imagery International Members,

  Great news! We've extended the deadline for submissions to the next issue of ImagiNews—giving you one last chance to contribute to our theme: Rebirthing: Sowing the Seed.

  We would love to hear from you! Whether it’s reflections, insights, poetry, or creative musings, your voice matters. Grab your pen, quill, or keyboard and join us in exploring the cycles of transformation—those endings that make way for new beginnings, the seeds planted in darkness that reach for the light.

  What does rebirth mean in your personal or professional journey? How do we nurture the seeds of change within ourselves and others?

  If you have a piece in mind (or one in progress), we warmly welcome your submission. Let’s sow inspiration together!

  Looking forward to receiving your work!

• Book Group: The Animals of the Four Windows: Integrating Thinking, Feeling, Sensing and Imagery

  • When
    July 08, 2025
  •  
    5:00 PM

  The Animals of the Four Windows: Integrating Thinking, Feeling, Sensing and  Imagery

  
  

  Join us on July 8, 2025, for a discussion of The Animals of the Four Windows: Integrating Thinking, Feeling, Sensing, and Imagery by Eligio Stephen Gallegos, PhD. This insightful book explores how our inner world is shaped by four distinct ways of knowing—thinking, feeling, sensing, and imagery—and how we can bring them into balance for greater wholeness.

  
  

  Gallegos introduces the concept of “The Four Windows” of knowing, and invites us to engage with the symbolic animals that represent each mode of awareness. Through deep imagery and personal exploration, we uncover the wisdom held within us, often beyond the reach of words or logic.

  Whether you are new to deep imagery work or already familiar with Gallegos’ approach, this book offers a powerful lens for understanding yourself and the world. Our discussion will explore key themes, personal insights, and how we might apply these ideas in our own lives.

  
  

  Come ready to reflect, share, and discover how The Animals of the Four Windows can open new pathways of inner knowing. We look forward to seeing you there!

  The Book is available on Amazon at https://a.co/d/azQs4jW

  ImagiNews, September 2025 edition.

  Submit your contribution by August 1, 2025

  
  

  We invite you to contribute to the September issue of ImagiNews, exploring the theme of Emerging & Blossoming.

  
  

  As practitioners of imagery and visualization, we witness and guide transformative journeys—both our own and those of others.

How do we recognize and nurture the moments of blossoming in our personal or professional work?

  
  

  We welcome articles, poetry, reflections, and creative pieces that explore this theme. Share your insights, experiences, and inspirations as we celebrate the beauty of transformation.

    5:00 PM

  Into Wholeness: The Path of Deep Imagery

  

  
  

  Join us on September 9, 2025, for a discussion of Into Wholeness: The Path of Deep Imagery by Eligio Stephen Gallegos, PhD. This book offers a profound exploration of deep imagery as a path to self-discovery, healing, and inner integration. Gallegos invites us to engage with the living imagery within us—guides that help us access our innate wisdom and move toward greater wholeness.

  
  

  Through personal stories and practical insights, Into Wholeness shows how deep imagery connects us with the parts of ourselves that have long been unseen or unspoken. It is a journey of healing, self-trust, and deep transformation.

  
  

  Whether you are new to this approach or have already begun working with imagery, this discussion will be a space to reflect, share, and explore how these practices can enrich our lives. We look forward to an evening of meaningful conversation—join us!
